MEAT MONOPOLIEs.

The talk OF q beef famine in New York
because OF the losses last winter is for the
specific purpose of bulling the market. 1t
10 tho cry Of the monopolists in the meat
market to Y their claim for the main.
tenance Of fictitious prices, a cry intended
and we'll calculated to-deceive the onsum
ers. The fact 10, the losses of last winter
did not fall upon beef cattle but upon the
COWS, bulls and calves. The beef steer
stood the seventies VI the season in good
shape, and there will be no material depre.
siation in the product OF the ranges this
fan. But in the ensuing two or three years
the losses OF the last season will be felt
BY tho consumers. Then the shortage in
the beef crop may be keenly felt. In the
meantime the cattle industry will be uD-
dergoing o change in method from the lax
management of ranges, to careful cattle
husbandry, which will contemplate shelter
and winter feed. with no more in one herd
than can be provided for, whatever may be
the sxigencies OF the weather condition.
There is something radically wrong in the
domestic economy of the people Of Mon
tana, where they grow the best beef in the
world and consume beef dressed by the
Armour monopoly in Kansas City. And
tho same is true Of the people Of St. Paul
and Minneapolis, who consume the dressed
beef OF both Chicago and Kansas City, and
Montana beef passes through the Min
Aesota transfer every day on the
hoof for slaughtering in the East. The ex-
pertinent of slaughtering on the ranges
developed into q dream Of the visionary
De Morss. But this was not conclusive of
the incorrectness of the system. It wal bad
management which led to the deplorable
failure Of the plan. We believe the theory
is correct, il practical men take hold of the
matter, with enough capital to combat the
Armours and other eastern monopolists
who stand in with the railroads to control
the industry. As it is now it is almost i'm
possible for q butcher to secure the best
Of beef because he cannot buy the whole
brand, as can the Armours and their allies.
Hence it is that If we get good beef in the
local markets OF this Territory it must be
shipped from Kansas City after having
been hauled there on the hoof and dressed
for the trade.

It seems generally conceded in inner
administrative circles that should Secre-
tary Lamar be elevated to the bench he
would be succeeded in the Cabinet by his
able assistant, Mr.. Muldrow. This would
be a practical exemplification of CivilSer-
vice principles, which could but commend
itself to the whole country regardless OF
bias. Mr.. Muldrow is a very
Efficient and experienced man in the Interior
and his findings have generally

honor of Mr.. Larmar's mantle. 1t would
thus fall upon worthy shoulders.

porter OF The MINER learned from MISS

REFUSING TO ASSOCIATE

silence was continued several days. Inree
DAYS ago Annie shut herselfin her room, and
was not seen again until yesterday. Her
silence was remarked, more especially by
Miss White, who went to the door and
knocked several times and received no re-
spouse. Yesterday, becoming alarmed at
the silence OF her ledger, she procured a
step ladder, and peering through the tran
som, discovered the body OF the
on the floor, her head under the bed,
apparently dead. Assistance was immedl
ately summoned and an entrance et1ected
to the room. The woman was discovered
to be alive, but unconscious. Aphysician
was called, who
ADMINISTERED KEsrORATIvEs
and consciousness was restored, although
the people who were around were unable to
induce her to speak. She was carefully
cared for while in the lodging house and
yesterday afternoon al removed to the
hospital. DR.. Johnston, city physician,
was seen last night and stated that the
right side of the woman was paralyzed and
that she had lost the power of speech. 1t
is impossible to tell whether the paralysis
will pass away or whether it will terminate
fatally.
THE CAUSE OF Z ACTIONS
prior to her being stricken down are said
to be her desertion by a nan who induced
her to leave her husband and assumed that
function himself without the formaIity of a
marriage ceremony. The woman could not
bear the thought that she was to be
abandoned and attempted to drown her
sorrows in the oblivion Of intoxication,
which no doubt precipitated the attack
which renders her an invalid with little
hope of life. The man who lived with her
is in business here and heartlessly refused
to see her when told OF her pltiless condi-
ton, and had it not been for the attention
of Miss White and lady performers at the
Comique. the woman would doubtless ere
this be in her grave. The name of the man
who has brought her to her misery is with
held in the wish that he may yet partially
atone for his heartless desertion of one
whose life he has rendered so cad and hope
less.

It seems from later reports that the
brush between the Colorado militia
and Colorow and his imps was more seri.
ous in it's results than was at first reported.
The red skins are now thoroughly aroused,
and their tastes have been whetted for
blood. If not summarily suppressed &C.
rious trouble may be anticipated. Should
the Navajoes join their fortunes and mis-
fortunes with the various bands of Utes,
two thousand troops would be required
to discipline them into a state OF subju.
cation. Prompt and decisive a~ctionis now
the desirable thing.

Captain Pray, of the Colorado militia,
reports that he has the Utes rounded up
through the diplomatic ruse of a truce for
a big medicine talk with Colorow, who, on
the other hand, flatters himself that he
has Pray and his men rounded up. He
has no time to talk to the militia captain,
but would give up a few minutes for a chat
with Governor Adams. The probabilities
are that within a few days Captain Pray
will want the rest of the militia and the
regulars to help him let 60 OF the red skins
he has rounded up.

We hope that the recommendations OF
Governor Leslie and the prompt action
of the Legislature to introduce a bill for
the punishment OF train wreckers will be
by the passage Of a bill providing
for the punishment of such fiends accord
ing to their deserts. A long sentence should
be provided for the mere attempt and the
death penalty in cases where life is sacri-
feed. Train wreching is wholesale murder
and is the worst possible phase OF crime.
